FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does the Fee quoted include VAT?

Walker Jones DO NOT have to charge VAT because fee income is kept below the VAT Registration threshold. As a result this makes our quoted fees even more competitive. The fee we quote is based on the information provided and (except under very exceptional circumstances) is the total price you pay; there are no hidden extras.

Are there any additional charges to the Fee quoted?

No the Fee quoted is the price you pay; there are no additional charges for travel time or for the job taking more time than initially envisaged. We will always try to honour the Fee quoted.

Could I accompany the Surveyor on inspection?

Yes this is a Service which because of popular demand we are happy to consider. Some surveyors do not offer this service, they feel it detracts and slows them down or they feel the client may be 'scrutinising' them. We encourage an accompanied inspection however because from 'feedback' clients find the interaction with the surveyor very helpful and informative. It is fair to say an accompanied inspection will take longer and we must obtain vendor and Agent permission, and our Client's agreement to the restrictions imposed before we can accept instructions. We make a nominal fee from £100 for this Service.

I want to improve the property or extend, can you give advice?

We are happy to assist with general advice on your proposals in the Walker Jones Report but we cannot carry out any damage or invasive investigations. If we know of your proposals we can give some general view as to whether your proposals would be feasible and/or the obstacles to overcome. There is normally no additional charge.

Are testing/condition reports on Services & drainage included?

No we do not carry out any testing. Our reports are part of the pre-purchase decision making process. Our reports include sections on Heating, Electrics, Gas, drainage but offer no detailed indications of condition (See description terms for each report type). However we give an overall opinion that may require you to have specialist tests undertaken if you decide to go to the next stage of purchase.
